The vehicle&#8217;s boom and arm crook struck the west face of the bridge as it passed beneath it, puncturing the deck and lodging into the bridge. The impact caused several large holes in the concrete and nearly one-third of the superstructure to be compromised.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The truck driver, 46-year-old Jason Simbro, was driven to Stormont-Vail Health in Topeka with suspected minor injuries after authorities confirmed that no additional injuries were reported.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Did_the_accident_cause_severe_harm\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did the accident cause severe harm?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The KDOT District One Public Information Officer, Kate Craft, provided precise damage measurements. The collision caused damage that was 4 to 6 feet wide along the west box face, a 10-by-11-foot hole in the bridge floor, and a 3-by-5-foot hole in the deck surface. In order to restore structural integrity, the South Morrill Road bridge, a three-cell reinforced concrete girder bridge constructed in 1974, will need extensive repairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_will_the_Kansas_bridge_be_repaired\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When will the Kansas bridge be repaired?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to begin construction in the spring of 2026, the Kansas Department of Transportation has started the repair design process. The bridge will be closed for more than a year before it reopens to traffic in the middle to late part of 2026. Morrill Road will not be accessible at the location of the damaged bridge during this time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given the difficulty of repairing the significant structural damage brought on by the accident, KDOT&#8217;s preliminary estimates indicate that repair costs could range from $750,000 to $1 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_should_equipment_transporters_learn_from_this_accident\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What should equipment transporters learn from this accident?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This incident points out the significance of appropriate transport procedures, such as lowering booms and guaranteeing height clearances, even though accidents involving construction equipment are comparatively uncommon.
